HackerOne is a global bug bounty platform with more than 2.4 million white hat hackers around the world participating, and it has long-term partnerships with numerous global big tech companies, including the U.S. Department of Defense.
The program will operate with only global white hat hackers who have passed identity verification and capability screening. LG U+ accepts reports from global white hat hackers on an ongoing basis.

Since October 2024, LG U+ has jointly operated a bug bounty system with the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA). Separately from the KISA joint operation, the company said it will run a HackerOne global program to identify vulnerabilities and management blind spots, and said this partnership will secure a vulnerability management system that meets global standards.
Hong Kwan-hee, head of LG U+'s Information Security Center and CISO, cited the growing scope of telecom services connected to overseas infrastructure as the backdrop to this partnership, and said the goal of the partnership is to proactively identify and address undiscovered vulnerabilities in response to the expanding contact points between telecom services and overseas infrastructure.
